what is the lid made of? Is it clear so you can see when ice is getting low to put more in?

Yes the lid is clear. It's some sort of heavy glass. The rim of the lid, and the handle, are metal for strength.

The Lid IS Clear and you can see inside to keep it full. I love this Ice Bucket. I have purchased 5 so far, as shower and birthday gifts. Everyone who has seen mine, wants one.

Yes, it is clear a plexiglass that feels/looks like regular glass. We've had this bucket several years now and the lid has not gotten scratched at all and remains nice and clear.

The interior of the bottle is stainless steel. The under side of the lid is plastic. The plastic lid is double layered plastic with a dead air space between the layers of plastic. I don't know if it is a vacuum or not. I bought a flip lid for mine and it is only single layered plastic but will still keep ice for 24 hours or more.

It's a single walled container. There is no thermal insulation. The lid has a plastic seal which should prevent leakage, but I have not exposed it to pressure, so not sure how well it seals. Basically, the container and contents will reach temperature equilibrium with its environment at a normal rate.

lid is not glass. it is stainless steel, therefore not see through, I just bought one, and was surprised to find it not a glass lid, the photos, especially the enlarged lid one, confusing to say the least

Clear glass. Mine had a chip in it upon arrival, but it's not enough of an issue for me to bother returning it.

I would say its plastic or silicone, its a bendable straw which is nice because I put ice in mine and with a hard straw on the older models it was sometimes hard to screw the lid on if the ice froze together. I don't notice a strange taste.

The clear plastic is pressed between layers of stainless which makes the lid clear so you can see all your spices. Answer to your question, NO.

There is a ice level control. The ice is made when ice level drops. Ice will melt and the water goes back into the tank. The ice is not super hard as in a refrigerator. It makes ice very fast and will keep up with most normal demand. You will have to add water every other day or so depending on how much you use. The water container holds about a gallon.

The entire lid is made of plastic, but the two interlocking plastic segments have a rubber (or it could be silicone) ring that seals the lid against the glass jar. It's rather ingenious.

It's translucent with a little texture to it and is not perfectly clear. Similar to the color of a plastic milk jug. You can see color through it, but its muted.

Its not clear like glass, but i do believe its very clear for the price and thickness. Compared to the cheep clear plastic sheeting you can buy at the store, its very clear. But there is still some haze

That is a good question that I unfortunately do not have a definitive answer for; another FYI is that there is no lid- at least I received none. It is one of the more safe plastics(#2) being high density and less likely to leach chemicals. I felt it safe enough for the girls, and they took to it quickly...It will definitely need a heating element if you experience winter.

It is opaque and you can see the water level, yes. When it gets close to empty you have to look more carefully though.

It is filled with a white substance like pudding. It does not get hard like ice but it does get thicker.

It is made from glass. There is also a plastic liner between the bottom and top to make a nice seal.

The vessel is made of clear glass, stainless steel lid. I thought ours had a stainless steel spout but is is actually silver colored plastic.

The clear part is plastic. The green is a bit like a cross between silicon and plastic the inside looks like silicon but the outside looks like plastic (I hope that makes sense). The lid and the bottom are both flexible so you can get them on and off easily to clean it. I expected it to be bigger but it's not too bad. Is this any help?
